I second the recommendations for the Belohlavek set of symphonies and 
the Frescoes. Let me add a recommendation for the full Julietta opera 
conducted by Krombholc in 1964 (the Concert Suite is more popular but is 
only an appetizer), the Gilgamesh oratorio (no particular fav, maybe 
Kosler 1989) and Ariane (another opera) conducted by Netopil in 2015.

Any recommended set of the piano concertos?
